How dare you say something negative about minorities! Don't you know that prejudice from a minority member is just counter-racism, you bigot?

as a whole. not saying every person.

people

A shame more people can't take this approach instead. The best way to fight hate and bigotry isn't with more hate and bigotry, it's with love.

Ill just leave this here

Upvoted, hope it ends up on the front page. This concept that black people should be allowed to act racist or can't be considered racist because of "big evil white people conspiracy" is bullshit and a major cop out. If you hate someone because of their race or skin color, you are a racist and an asshole period, no excuses, end of story.

Did this ever happen to you or your mom or grandmother? Do you have any relatives who were strung up or who were "owned" by someone? Go watch Hidden Figures or The Help and think about how you'd feel if that happened to you.

Still doesn't excuse hate. Someone did something horrible to someone, so that's an excuse to hate the entire race instead of the low life piece of garbage responsible? How is this kind of attitude not the same as someone blaming all Muslims for an Islamic extremist killing or torturing a member of their family? It's the same logic and racial hatred in both of those cases, all cases of racial hatred, is wrong. And by making excuses like "they started it" is not only immature, it perpetuates the problem and allows it to continue instead of helping to end the insanity of mindless and needless hate. Here's a better solution, one that is more likely to make this world a better place instead of allowing hate to spread.

If it wasn't still going on today, which it is, maybe you'd have a valid point. But you know, and everyone else on this board knows, the truth about that in this country.

In a perfect world, there would be no racism. Unfortunately, this world and this country is far from perfect. The US was founded by white racists from England. We have continued that tradition to this day. It's been a long slow road coming and unfortunately the hostilities are ingrained on both sides. We've made a lot of progress but have taken many steps backwards in the last year.

everyone should be allowed to be racist, not just non whites. The real problem is only whites are NOT allowed to be racist.

Whites have shoved hundreds of years of racism down indigenous peoples' throats. Only now society is trying to change that and you're crying about it? Boo freaking hoo.

2 wrongs make a right do they - lol? You know what happens when white people come to the end of their tether?

Or just eliminate it all together and treat all racism with the same seriousness and severity.

good luck with that - lol. How are you going to stop arabs being racist in Saudi Arabia? How are you going to stop 1 and a half billion chinese being racist in china. "murica f**k yeah!! can do it right? Again good luck with that.

if you are a human, you are a racist

or a hypocrite or a brainwashed liberal idiot

honestly, im not excluding myself, i never exclude myself when i refer to "all of humanity"

im agrreeing with you if it isnt clear. One is either
1: Racist
2: A racist and pretending not to be (most white liberals) ie A hypocrite
3: An idiot who cant think for themselves (most people under 30 yo)

Ah! Oh no! You said it!

No they can't because they don't have instutional power...... JK. XD

Donald trump is one step ahead of you

As is the cast of Jersey Shore.

And unfortunately some people simply have hate in their heart. The problem is when a society finds ways to excuse that hate, regardless of the color of their skin. And then to make things worse, there are many people in the world who respond to this hate, with even more hate, using the childish excuses of "they started it" or "they did it so we should be able to do it too". And all this ultimately does is spread more anger, more intolerance, more bigotry, and more misery; and no one group is totally innocent in all this.Fighting hate with hate is never the answer, it's little more than mutually assured misery and migrain. The only true way to fight hate is with love. I remember reading in a newspaper at work about an incident in which an African American approached a Neo Nazi. He didn't hurl insults, or name call. He talked to the man, asked questions. H eventually asked the Neo Nazi if he could hug him. The man agreed. And before parting ways the African American asked the Neo Nazi why he hated him and the response was a sad and confused,"I don't know". Obviously it's not a total victory but this little bit of love and humanity at least go the man to question his hate and bigotry, and possibly started him down a path that will lead him to denounce that racism. I doubt that name calling or violence could have done better.

And this is the incident. This my friend is how you fight racism and bigotry.

So advocating for your race (ie your closest genetic relatives) is racist and 'hate' - fml. Try telling that to the chinese, arabs, jews Et al. Imagine 2 football teams playing a match but only one team is playing as a team. The other team often doesnt help its own team and sometimes helps the other team. Thats what being not racist equates to.

It goes further than just oh they started it. They're still doing it. Institutional racism is widespread in this country. And it's not just against blacks. Go to Hawaii and you'll find that the majority of people who are homeless, in foster care, and in prison, are native Hawaiians. The majority of foster care kids who are never allowed to go back with their parents are Hawaiian. The people in control over there, the ones with all the power, are white and Asian. There is a lot of hate toward native Hawaiians. They would wipe them out if they could and for the most part, are doing just that.

It's true hate has to end somewhere but expecting the victims of hate to be the ones who stop first won't solve the problem. We've already seen what happens down that road. That's why we're here.

No. It is not racist if you discrmininate against white people and stereotype them as racist even though it completely contradicts our progressive
